Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient June 25, 2015

Dr. Greis was excellent. I had a full tear in my rotator cuff after a fall in January and he repaired it-- and some other shoulder issues--in February. Now in June, 4 months after my surgery, I am able to do everything I could prior to my accident. The surgery was successful, and the subsequent physical therapy with Holly Chiodo was great. I highly recommend this team.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient May 29, 2015

Dr. Greis, his Resident, and his MA were all very nice and helpful. they were efficient and really seemed to listen and care about getting me back to what I love to do!

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient May 27, 2015

I think I have carpal tunnel along with the issue I was having with my shoulder.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient May 26, 2015

I really like Dr Greis. He informs me of my options now and in the future. Let's me help with the decision regarding my care.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient May 23, 2015

always a good experience with Dr. Greis. He has both my confidence and trust.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient May 20, 2015

spent adequate time and updated me on functional gains in my knee protocol even with a wait time running on for clinic. I appreciated not feeling rushed.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient May 19, 2015

Dr. listened and heard and is addressing my needs.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient May 03, 2015

Dr. Greis has given me my life back fixing my knee. I know this is what he does, repairing people's joints/injuries, but that does not reduce the significance of what Dr. Geis does for many people. I am eternally grateful for his expertise and do not take it for granted. I am so appreciative of him getting me as quickly as he did and his explantation of the work he would do on my knee. Thank You, Thank You.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient April 25, 2015

very consistent in following up on incision, return to physical therapy, and medications I took for the past 6 weeks.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient April 20, 2015

All care givers were kind, knowledgeable, and available for both my husband and I to ask as many questions as we needed to make our surgical decisions. I have had a few surgeries in the past 15 years, and my experience at the Ortho Center was definitely the best. I would highly recommend this center and all the care givers to my friends and family.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient April 20, 2015

If there was above and beyond I would have checked it

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient April 11, 2015

Dr. Greis is tops in my book as are his assistants.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient April 07, 2015

Although every aspect of my care has been excellent, I was disappointed to learn from Dr. Greise that I would not likely be able to pitch right handed in the major leagues following the rehab of my right shoulder.......there are other careers.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient April 06, 2015

MD/resident team continues to be excellent. The same resident has followed my case for a few weeks.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient April 06, 2015

Appt felt like everyone was in a hurry.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient April 05, 2015

Dr Greis and his staff are all exceptional care providers. He did an excellent job on my surgery.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient April 05, 2015

Unsure about recommendations as I felt what I was to expect from the surgery and the length of recovery was not forthright.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient March 28, 2015

Dr. Greis was so great to explain the procedure ( replace right shoulder ) My wife had more concerns than I did.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient March 24, 2015

Dr Greis is a wonderful doctor. He evaluates things carefully and listens to my concerns.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient March 21, 2015

very detailed explanations of my options including possible further surgery

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient March 15, 2015

my incision required up close monitoring and I'm confident this was accomplished.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient March 07, 2015

Dr. Greist is outstanding!

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient March 07, 2015

PERFECTION

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient March 06, 2015

follow up care after surgery very thorough. I was able to view arthroscopic pictures of my surgery.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient March 06, 2015

outstanding

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient March 02, 2015

There was a Physician assistant who was very helpful and stuck around after dr. left to give more information and clarification. The Dr. really didn't seem too interested in explaining the details (about the broken bone) and actually took a phone call on his cell phone while discussing xrays. I felt the dr. was actually being somewhat judgmental about how I broke my collar bone (motocross) rather than explaining what I could expect (timeline) about being active again.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient February 28, 2015

Had the feeling I was wasting Dr Greis time. Spent maybe 3 minutes with me. Told me to use knee as much as possible. 3 days later back in ER in terrible pain with instructions to stay off knee. This maybe the first time in my 52 years I have had this experience. Waste of his time, my time and money.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient February 21, 2015

I saw both Dr. Willick and Dr. Greis on the same day. They both scored the same. :-)

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient February 19, 2015

the surgery consult was extremely helpful in aiding my decision toward surgery procedures in the near future.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient February 09, 2015

Dr. Greis is definitely the best orthopedic doctor I have ever had.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient February 09, 2015

We already have recommended Dr. G. to others

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient January 30, 2015

Dr Greis is very committed to providing the best care possible. It was very encouraging and comforting that he explored every option with me.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient January 26, 2015

Loved Dr. Greis!

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient January 23, 2015

It was a great experience all around. It was nice that the doctors were able to see the problem from previous images and didn't have to request more, which would have delayed the whole process.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient January 04, 2015

Overall I was happy and impressed with Dr. Greis; however, right before I went into my surgery he asked me what procedure I wanted (latarjet, labral repair, etc.). This was very concerning because I thought we discussed and decided on the latarjet procedure during my last visit, but when Dr Greis asked which procedure I wanted minutes before the procedure I quickly started losing confidence.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient December 22, 2014

Directions of follow up exercises and physical limits were very quick and incomplete

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient December 17, 2014

Thank you!

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient November 30, 2014

Doctor and PA seemed like I was holding them up.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient November 30, 2014

Good,

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient November 07, 2014

Fantastic experience. Great doctor, great team.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient November 03, 2014

very good

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient October 24, 2014

Dr. Greis and his support team are outstanding!

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient October 24, 2014

Provider performed little or no physical examination of the affected area. That can be disturbing when you have a painful problem.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient October 13, 2014

EXCELLENT

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient September 30, 2014

Great visit! Treatment plan worked for a few days but was given alternative plan in case it did not which I liked.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient September 24, 2014

Dr. Greis always answers any questions I have and he always seems concerned about my well-being.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient September 11, 2014

This was my first time with Dr. Greis, I felt really confident with him, and will definitely recommend him.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient September 08, 2014

Dr. Greis is wonderful! I couldn't be happier that I had him as my surgeon he has an excellent manner and has a calm confidence about him. He explained everything well and responded to very question and request

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient September 05, 2014

I was really pleased with the amount of time spent by Dr. Greis with me. You wouldn't know he has to give this same explanation to hundreds of patients, he was very detailed and acted like he had all the time I needed to ask questions and discuss my situation. His staff was really helpful, very friendly.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient August 22, 2014

The only bad thing i noticed during my visit was the expressions on the faces of both doctors i saw honestly made me feel as if my issue wasnt a big enough deal to be seeing them about. Even after viewing the MRI and seeing a tear, I still recieved that impression.

again, more information about some alternatives to dealing with my pain other than "taking the hardware out" would have been appreciated. also perhaps some other theories about why I am having increased pain.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient July 09, 2014

continues to be excellent provider experience

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient June 23, 2014

Totally pleased with staff and Dr. Greiss

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient June 11, 2014

Dr. Greis recommended trying PT to heal my injury before operating. I felt like this gave me a lot of faith in his opinion. It showed me that it is about what is in my best interest not just "quick fixes". He listened to my concerns and treated me as an individual patient. I am very active and this meant the world to me and my knee.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient June 06, 2014

I have been consistently impressed with the staff at the clinic. I'm always treated with care & concern and respect. I've recommended the clinic to others (which is how I found out about it - from a friend).

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient May 23, 2014

Everyone that i met was very nice and very gentle with my knees. Great staff!

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient May 07, 2014

Dr. Greis is the best. Thank you for making my knee feel so much better.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient May 06, 2014

I have full confidence and respect for Dr. Greis. He showed genuine concern for questions I had, took extra time to show me all of the details for the work he performed on my knee and offered a couple different approaches for how to handle my knee going forward. I greatly appreciate his approach to patient interaction. He has always offered me the opportunity to provide input and help me make decisions regarding my treatment.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient April 28, 2014

good

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient April 14, 2014

I did not feel like my time with Dr. Greis was rushed. we spent the time needed to figure out my next step.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient April 11, 2014

I was meeting the entire staff for the first time, and was so pleased with the care and concern they showed to me . I was so relieved to FINALLY find medical personal that was listening and seemed to understand my condition. This problem has been a serious issue for many months, and has caused me and my family serious stress. At last I was being given the answers I had been searching for.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient March 23, 2014

Dr Greis has done more for my quality of life than anyone. That may sound overboard, but my life would be very unenjoyable without his help. I am very grateful for the effort he has taken to become a wonderfully skilled surgeon and how he has put me back together several times.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient March 05, 2014

While I recognize medicine is not an exact science, the attending did not provide me with information that fully allowed me to make a decision about the best treatment for my injury. This is especially disappointing since the previous attending I saw did the same thing. I no longer have faith in this clinic's ability to treat this particular problem effectively.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient March 01, 2014

already have referred a number of friends

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient February 20, 2014

He is a good Dr.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient February 17, 2014

Dr Greiss took out a plastic model of the shoulder and showed me exactly how my rotator cuff injury tore away all the ligaments. It helped me to understand how my recovery is taking longer than some other people.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient February 15, 2014

Good experience

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient February 05, 2014

I am an RN, so I know how office visits usually go, and really don't know what to say except, "Wow, and Thanks!" to Dr Gries and his staff. My wait? Less than a minute. The MA took me back to a room, asked questions, and then escorted me immediately to Xray. From there, I returned to my exam room and waited only a few minutes before the doctor came in. I was in and out in less than 25 minutes...all on a first visit, with Xray done and read; PT script, and questions answered! :)

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient January 24, 2014

I have already recommended Dr. Gries to a colleague for his knee and he actually met with Dr. Gries.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient January 17, 2014

Excellent experience.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient January 17, 2014

Dr. Greis is excellent doctor

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient January 13, 2014

I was recommended to this office by a friend and I've already recommended it to at least 4 people.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient January 10, 2014

Dr. Greis is a rock star.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient January 08, 2014

the care provider give me all the time I needed

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient December 31, 2013

We have recommended Dr. Greis to others. He is an excellent doctor.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient December 26, 2013

Dr. Greis was very sympathetic and understanding of my injury. He is undoubtedly extremely knowledgeable and did an exceptional surgery on a serious tear in my shoulder. His injection fixed the inflammation and now I can use my right hand and arm.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient December 15, 2013

good

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient November 22, 2013

I couldn't begin to think that there is any doctor in this field better than Dr. Greis.I have total confidence in him.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient November 20, 2013

Dr. Greis was very clear about my condition and what options were available. In the end, we agreed that surgery was probably the best option for me at this time. I very much felt like he took the time to explain things and especially include me in the decision process.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient November 08, 2013

Outstanding physician!

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient November 06, 2013

good

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient November 03, 2013

The team of Doctors were very helpful and they had a plan for fixing her shoulder unlike another hospital here in the city. My wife has a history of C-Diff and the doctors told us how they were going to prevent it from comming back during surgery.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient November 01, 2013

I am glad to have a surgeon as skilled as Dr Greiss.He's good at explaining things.He's always very positive.

Dr. Grise was very good at explaining the problem and what was done to resolve it. I felt like he had my best interest in mind and was very straight forward and told me the whole story. I liked that he was very professional and answered all of my questions. He took the time needed to make me feel very confident and comfortable in his recommendations and his abilities as a surgeon. I will be back again if I have the misfortune of hurting my knee. and I will recommend him to those I know.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient October 03, 2013

good

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient September 23, 2013

Very good overall communication

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient August 19, 2013

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient July 23, 2013

good

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient July 03, 2013

Dr Griess was wonderful. I had 3 previous surgeries on my knee and after he discussed with me what options I had, I felt really good about the surgery....I'm just disappointed that he didn't do my 1st surgery, because I believe he could had done it right

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient July 01, 2013

Dr. Greis has been great. I still didn't completely understand what he had done with regard to the surgery until I started my first Physical Therapy appointment. The physical therapist used a model and showed me what had been done. I was grateful to finally understand exactly what had happened during my surgery. Dr. Greis was very good about helping me understand how important physical therapy was to my recovery. The after care instructions weren't very clear.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient June 24, 2013

Good

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient June 18, 2013

Dr. Greis and his resident, great!

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient June 10, 2013

I liked that he did not make fun of us when I said we might try acupuncture to try to help remedy the problem. He seemed very open to that idea since the problem involved mainly pain management.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient May 28, 2013

good

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient May 20, 2013

The amount of time spent with me was minimal. However, I don't think it needed to be any more. Dr. Greis give me all the relavant information, made me feel at ease, and that I was in good hands, and that thre was nothing to worry about. minimal efficiency and getting the job done well is what mattered the most to me. ANd Dr. Greis was perfect.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient May 14, 2013

I was very happy that he had the courage to disagree with my physical therapist.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient May 13, 2013

Dr. Gries was excellent.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient May 08, 2013

I was very impressed with both Doctors and their explanations and answering questions and concerns.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient May 06, 2013

Dr. Greis was recommended to me by someone I work with. I would recommend him highly.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient May 06, 2013

Dr. Greis was knowledgeable in knowing what was wrong with my shoulder. I've been to two Wyoming Drs, and they couldn't figure out what was wrong. If only they would of taken an MRI; Like Dr Greis ordered.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient April 29, 2013

Would definately recomend to others.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient April 22, 2013

good

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient April 16, 2013

no bad experience. Dr. very knowledgeable.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient April 06, 2013

After the surgery, Dr. Gries didn't come out and talk to my parents, rather he just called them on the phone. They were in the waiting area. It was odd he didn't just come out and talk to them.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient April 02, 2013

I believe there could be more information shared with a patient concerning the affect and frequency some of the drugs given that are foreign or not used frequently by the patient.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient March 18, 2013

My experience from start to finish has been nothing but excellent

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient March 05, 2013

I could not have asked for much better attention and care.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient March 04, 2013

would not consider going anywhere else for ortho

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient February 20, 2013

Not super personable, but he was a great doctor and we would recommend him.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient February 19, 2013

I trust my life with Dr. Greis...

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient February 19, 2013

I spent more time with the resident than I did with the doctor. Dr. Greis was nice but did not give me a sense of confidence that he could fix my problem of that he was really even interested in fixing my problem. I felt more like an annoyance.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient February 11, 2013

Very likely to recommend to others

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient February 04, 2013

Dr. Greis has been all I hoped for; knowledgeable, empathetic, frank, communicative, and on board with trying to help me reach what some might think are ambitious recovery goals. I think his experience as a sports medicine specialist has given him insight into trying to help the patient get to where he wants to be rather than the focus on all the obstacles that could make the goals unreachable. As a patient I realize I might fall short but I appreciate the fact that if there is a way, Dr. Greis is going to help me find it.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient February 04, 2013

Dr. Greis identified directly with my concerns and questions. He clearly articulated all my options and included me in developing a course of action. I've not felt this comfortable and confident with a physician in some time. I will most definitely recommend him in the future.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient December 20, 2012

Just great overall. I have a high confidence level in Dr. Greis

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient December 17, 2012

This was a return visit for unrelated problem. I have recommended this care provider on several occasions.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient December 17, 2012

it was good

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient December 05, 2012

Fellow and MD were both very friendly

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient December 04, 2012

Dr didn't take note of my previous treatment history and re-recommended something I've already done (which didn't work the first time). I was a bit frustrated and disappointed.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient December 03, 2012

It all did go pretty quick. The only thing that could have gone better, in retrospect, was talking through the length of time the surgery was going to take (2 weeks out) and things I would/should do to care for the knee and collateral pain. There really were no instructions. Then again, maybe there are none... but it would have been nice to have had a coversation about this.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient November 26, 2012

Dr. Greis and his team of professionals are top notch. They provide world class healthcare services and an environment centered on the patient. Thank you!

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient November 20, 2012

Great willing to help with my unusual circumstance.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient November 15, 2012

I feel confident in Dr. Greiss

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient November 14, 2012

good

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient November 02, 2012

De. Greis is an amazing surgeon with wonderful followup care. Would recommend him to all

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient October 29, 2012

Very Good

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient October 12, 2012

extremely pleased with experience

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient October 09, 2012

Exemplary conduct

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient October 08, 2012

Dr. Greis is EXCELLENT! I have every confidence in him and followed his instructions carefully. I am doing better than ever expected and and am very happy with the results.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient October 03, 2012

Good experience

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient October 03, 2012

the doctor was recommended to me by a friend, I found the physician's manner with me and his knowledge to be very first rate

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient October 02, 2012

He listened and talked to myself and my wife, explaining my problem very thouroughly.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient October 01, 2012

I was concerned that I might need to have surgery to be back the mobility in my knee, we discussed other possibilities and I ended up having a shot to see if it would help with the minor pain I was having.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient September 11, 2012

Discouraged about pain I'm still having in my shoulder one year after surgery. Hoping it goes away eventually. Thought it would be better than this after one year. Expressed concern to Dr. Greise.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient September 10, 2012

Dr Greis and his staff are awesome. Courteous, friendly and professional always.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient September 10, 2012

Dr. Greis is a great doctor. He explains things very well. This last visit he gave me the option of getting an x-ray done or not and explained the benefit vs. personal cost to me. I appreciated that he didn't just order an x-ray knowing that it may not help me learn anything new about my knee pain.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient August 21, 2012

This is my second experience with Dr. Greis. I would have asked for someone else if I hadn't been satisfied the first time. I appreciate someone who is not condescending and who discusses matters as if we were just discussing matters of interest to both of us.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient August 20, 2012

Dr. Greis just keeps getting better and better - more friendly, more outgoing; or maybe it is that I am getting to know him better as well. His surgical skill set is amazing, and I proudly tell everyone who it is that did my rotator-cuff repair. Thank you.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient August 14, 2012

Doctor Greis is the man! He truly cares about his patients and is very thorough with his explanations.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient August 14, 2012

Dr. Greis is the best. Wonderful person and fantastic physician. Have recommended him to others.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient August 13, 2012

I have recommended Dr. Greis to friends with shoulder pain. My experience has been excellent, especially when compared to those who have had the same rotator cuff surgery.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient August 07, 2012

Dr. Greis is very good at explaining things and showing care for my healing

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient August 06, 2012

I have nothing but good comments to offer about Dr. Greis and his staff. They have always acted in such a professional manner.

He is the best shoulder doctor inte west. I have checked. I used to work in surgery as a scrub nurse. No one is doing anything surgical/invasive unless they are "the best".

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient July 03, 2012

Excellent

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient June 26, 2012

Dr. Gries was very courtious and explained my situation with my arthritic knees. He explained the treatments available what I should consider for treatment in the future.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient June 25, 2012

Bottom line, my experience with Dr. Greis was not the best.... I felt as if he did not listen to my concerns and above all did not help me to address them so I can move toward as full a recovery as possible. On a bright note, I was very satisfied with the service I received in physical therapy and hand therapy.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient June 12, 2012

very professionnal

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient June 04, 2012

My experience with Dr. Greis and his assistants prior to surgery and to my last visit have been excellent!

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient May 09, 2012

This was a very good experience and all my questions/concerns were answered. I feel good about the decision made.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient April 21, 2012

Dr Greis is an excellent physician, professional and personable. I would recommend him to a family member, friend, or colleague, in fact I already have done so.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient April 18, 2012

Doctor didn't seem to believe what I was telling him as I described my pain and restrictions.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient April 11, 2012

Was unimpressed with how I was treated I would never recommend that place to anyone!!!!!!!

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient April 11, 2012

Excellent experience!

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient April 11, 2012

Dr. Greis is incredibly sought after so I know his time is tight, but I always feel as though he's ready to move on. He is also incredibly intelligent but speaks to his assistants (rather than this patient) in words that I, many times, have to go back and look up afterwards. My last visit I felt as though I had to pull him into the next step; although once I stated my wish, he was very agreeable to move forward.

Dr. Greis is the best..... Enough said :)

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient January 25, 2012

Dr. Greis spent less than a minute examining me and then did what every doctor I've ever had has done - he told me it wasn't there. His assistant is way better at this than he is.

Patrick E. GreisUofU Patient January 04, 2012

Dr. Greise has a great empathetic, but confident bedside approach to his patient's. He seemed to be highly experienced in his diagnosis, and was genuine and personal when presenting the findings and treatment options.
